[arin-ppml] Transition /10

I think Section 4.10 (2008-5) is working as planed.

https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2008_5.html

The IPv4 free pool is now out and we still have a /10 for those that 
need some IPv4 for IPv6 deployments.  At least that much is a success. 
We would be far worse off without the /10.

Our community couldn't agree on reserving the whole last /8 like some of 
other RIRs did.  A /10 isn't enough for the same kind of last /8 policy 
that the other RIRs have, that is everyone gets a /22 or something like 
that.  It's really too late to change that now.

However, we need to think hard about the current policy and if the 
details are correct now that the IPv4 free pool is gone and we actually 
need to make use of it.  I would love to hear experiences using and/or 
suggestions to improve section 4.10.  But, with only a /10 I'm going to 
be very leery of suggestions for use of the 4.10 reservation that are 
not directly tied to IPv6 deployment requirements.

If you want IPv4 for IPv4 sake there are transfers and the waiting list, 
and the waiting list isn't a reliable source of addresses, so that 
really only leaves transfers.

thanks
